Verified Voting is leading the way to secure and trustworthy elections

The events of the last election cycle have revealed to the public what many of us have known for years – that our computerized voting systems can be susceptible to undetectable manipulation through cyber attacks. Long before the specter of a foreign government trying to hack our elections became a reality, Verified Voting, founded in 2004, was striving to safeguard our elections from digital attacks.

We have made enormous progress. When Verified Voting began, roughly two-thirds of the country’s votes were recorded in digital form on computerized voting machines (typically touch screen machines) that could lose votes or be manipulated without detection. Today more than two-thirds of the country uses voter-marked paper ballots. We are proud to have played a primary role in that shift. Our impact has greatly exceeded our lean not-for-profit budget. But we no longer have the luxury of time; we need reforms to our election system nation-wide now to protect it from continued attacks.

Verified Voting has the experience, networks, knowledge, and expertise, but we need your help to expand our operation to work rapidly and broadly across our nation. A third of the country still does not have voter-marked paper ballots, and only a handful of states conduct post-election audits that can be relied upon to catch a potential error in the vote count. Therefore, we must pass reforms that will ensure that all elections in all states and territories have paper ballots and are audited to detect and correct any potential errors in the vote count before certification.

With our next major election around the corner, we cannot delay. Providing the advocacy, technical support, and expertise needed to secure our voting systems requires all hands on deck. Please join the effort to protect our democracy at this critical time by donating to our campaign.
